Real Name:
Darius Keeler, Danny Griffiths, Craig Walker, Roya Arab, Rosko John, Maria Q, Dave Penney, Pollard Berrier
Profile:
Trip hop group from the UK. Darius Keeler and Danny Griffiths formed Archive in 1994 together with female singer Roya Arab and young rapper Rosko John. Due to some dispute among themselves, the band broke up in 1996.
Later, Darius and Danny reformed Archive along with singer Craig Walker (former front man for Power of Dreams) and produced their second album "Take My Head". Craig Walker left the band before the next album.
Later then, in 2002, they produced their third album, "You All Look The Same To Me", a more rock oriented disc than electronic or pop. It contains the 16mn track "Again", which is kind of a masterpiece on the CD.
Two years later, "Noise" and "Unplugged" are the follow ups to "You All Look The Same To Me", and they are keeping the same musical formation as before.
Finally, in 2006, they release "Lights", their latest disc, including most of the previous line up (with Darius Keeler, Danny Griffiths, Maria Q, who was a chorist on "Take My Head", Dave Penney, singer on "Y.A.L.T.S" and "Noise" and Pollard Berrier).
